| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The game is finally over. It was a great end. Nice to see the team pull through this one. The chemistry between the players are great. And Momoe's reaction to some of the situations were priceless. This show is getting better by the episode. Looking forward to more |
 |
| Yeah finally the practice game is over, oh man Mihashi's facial expressions are hilarious, he always seems so insecure but it's funny^^, The next episode looks good^_^ |
 |
| "WE WOOOOOOOOOON!!!" great ep, i'm so glad Abe and Mihashi are "buddies" again. and Mihoshi apologizing to Mihashi in the end was great! my favorite part had to be Tajima taking Mihashi back to the bench though, that made me feel good :) i know i say this every time, but damn this show is gay :D momoe just makes it worse somehow...i see her as the anime form of the manga-ka now, haha. i love her to pieces though, she's such a great character. abe watching mihashi at the end was priceless. "I WILL DEVOTE MYSELF TO YOU FOR 3 YEARS!" or whatever was lol :D |
| Mihashi is the lamest and pussiest male ever. |
vanofthedawn said: Xinil said: Mihashi is the lamest and pussiest male ever. true! if he wasn't like this, the show could be much better. noooo even though mihashi is weak, it creates a GREAT dynamic between him and abe!! they're relationship is just great and i love watching them interact. If mihashi was any different it just wouldnt be the same. 'i'll devote myself to you for the next 3 years' -- soo cute~! oh, kanou and oda are also pretty awesome also. god this show is so full of perfect doujinshi pairings its INSANE. The ending of this game was great. my heart was going 'doki doki' with mihashi during the last inning. just so good. oh, and his facial expressions are awesome =) |
| "I don't intend to rebel !" xD Good episode. And Mihashi was finally able to sleep ^__^ |
  |
| Awesome strikeout to end the game. And yeah, this series has yaoi written all over it. |
| A very satisfying ending...especially when the Mihoshi guys apologized to Mihashi. I agree with Katsup, yes Mihashi's kind of a tool, but the show wouldn't work w/o him. And, yea I guess I can see the yaoi tendencies, but I think ya'll are reading into too much. I think the Manga-ka was just trying to show how close of a bond a high school baseball team can have. But, I could be wrong, we've all seen shows like 07-Ghost or Ookami Kakushi, where it's starts of like an awesome show, and then all of a sudden...BAM!! Yaoi in the face..LOL. So, I really hope this doesn't go that route, but I'll find out, cause I'm definitely continuing this series...It's Awesome!! As I've said so many times...I love Baseball anime!! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Wow, I didn't see them winning. I was thinking along the lines that Mihoshi does so well that they would play them again some time in the future, but oh well. |

| Holy shit, I hate sport and have never even considered picking up a sport anime before I tried this on a whim, but I have no regrets. This is intense, I have to fight the urge to look away at some points because I don't want to see what happens (but I really do). Also, Mihashi is absolutely adorable ;_; |
the Imaginary and the Real can never mingle. |
| Tajima FTW! I love his serious mode! <3 WANT MORE OF IT |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Rewatching this and noticed my comment above from a year ago. This baseball anime is so underrated. It is better than Major, though not as enjoyable as Major though. It's for baseball fanatic like me. Base loaded always give me chills, especially with no outs! So freakin awesome, too bad no one in their team can pull a homerun, not even Tajima. ): |

| Wow, good arc. This show is promising. Almost reached my expectations so far - I'm hoping it'll get better in the next, but so far, it's definitely a solid 8. Likable characters - especially Tajima, Kanou and even the MCs. My heart was beating throughout every intense moment. I can't believe I just watched 7 episodes in a row, for just one baseball game. Completely different pacing from the other baseball series I've watched (and read) but it works well. |
| finally the game is over! great episode! :) |
 |
| Banned because I'm sticking with chili's idea for spaceship bans \(^0^)/ |
          |
| The long game paid off! I'm glad we were able to see character development already because of a single practice game. Looking forward to watching more :-) |
 |
| ROTFL THEY USED THE 'NO CRYING IN BASEBALL LINE' DO THEY EVEN KNOW KOUKOUYAKYUU?? ONLY TEARS ONLY SUFFERING ONLY ONE TEAM WILL WIN BUT ALL TEAMS SHALL CRY i'm sorry that's just too funny.（≧∀≦） But anyways, I forgot how great this episode is. It's the culmination of a lot of things, the release of numerous sources of tension. And I think it's basically the point at which two relationships really find their groove: that between Abe and Mihashi and that between Mihashi and Tajima. I think it's because most everyone looked the same the first time through that I didn't realize it was Tajima pulling the bird into the dugout -- though it was the rest of the team apologizing for their fielding that did it ('I thought you were mad at me??' loll Mizutani). And man, that fulfilment via trust that Mihashi unequivocally gives Abe is the spark (with help from Momo-coach) that leads to Abe promising to devote himself to Mihashi for three years. It gets me every time. There's the honey sap the hive was guarding! Back to the dub -- I think it isn't bad at all for expressing a touching baseball story. It is, however, a failure at sharing the interesting culture of Japanese high school baseball. No 'Nice Hitting!' or emotions gone haywire or the singular obsession of baseball above all other things. Like I said before, it feels a lot more like a love of ~the American pastime~ than what was originally intended. Not that that's a terrible thing (it's still a good story), but it's not Oofuri. I wouldn't have fallen in love with the sport as I have now. Gonna keep on with the dub, the American-Japanese kids, but I miss my cute Oofs. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) |

| What an adorable ep. I still laugh at the gay stuff Abe says. |
|
| Ahhh it finally ended. Took a while but I'm glad. Everyone really developed. |
| Was kinda hoping Mihashi would hug the Mihoshi team or smtg (esp Kanou) seeing the game got intense near the end there.. phew |
| this long game is ove, I don't really know the rules, but after this long practice I guess slowly I become more accustomed to this game- and it's really not boring like I always thought it was before. Gosh those conversations and speeches sometimes are too gay, however this show has a good pace and characters -that's why I can say that's it getting more interesting with every episode |
 |
| good to see him growing up |
 |
| Kanou is so cute! I wish he joined the Mihashi's team so I can see him on every eps |
 |
| Yay, they apologized, I loved that part! |
 |
| Ayiiee!~ Abe don't want Mihashi to go back to his former team.. I ship them ❤ But Mihashi should be more confident, he throw nice pitch and he's teammates now are nicer! He should stop thinking his former teammates. This practice match is too long though. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| GOD I LOVE THEM SM...... im gonna go insane i literally couldnt stop smiling this episode, what a nice ending that was. bald catcher from other team even told him about his habit before throwing a fastball what a lad IM SOHAPPYYYYYY THEY WON THEY WONNN THE WHOLE TEAM WON AND MIHASHI ALSO TALKED WITH HIS OLD TEAM IN A PEACEFUL MANNER |
| yeah , fun stuff . getting him back in dugout was nice. |
